In 2007, Tuvalu was getting 2% of its energy from solar, through 400 small systems managed by the Tuvalu Solar Electric Co-operative Society. These were installed beginning in 1984 and, in the late 1990s, 34% of families in the outer islands had a PV system (which generally powered 1-3 lights and perhaps a few hours a day of radio use). Each of the eight islands had a medical cente

All parameters of PV cells are given under the standard test conditions (STC), i.e., at irradiance (with AM 1.5) of 1000 W m −2 and temperature 25°C. The nominal power value of the PV cell indicates the maximum power at STC and is given in W p (the so-called watt peak, index p indicates that it is the maximum achievable power at STC). In
